[William Clayton Journal] Proceeded about eight miles to a camp ground near to a Doctor [] Elbert's where the band camped. President Young was behind and when he arrived he went on about 8 miles farther. The band went to work splitting rails for corn and made before dark, about 130. In the evening Dr. Elbert and some others came to hear the band play. [John] Kay sang some songs which pleased them.
